I thought it might be fun to make a list of all the times House uses his cane to open doors or stop lift doors. Seems like it happens a lot. Poor old cane, House puts it through all sorts of things. Although there are worse things for the cane (I'm thinking Wilson and a particular dog... Pop quiz! Name the episodes I'm referring to!).

Anyway, here we go. This is of course an incomplete list, please add to it in the comments!

Ep2-01: Acceptance

House and Stacy are discussing House's latest trick. Just before the elevator doors close with House inside it, House stops the door with his cane, to ask Stacy a question. It is a pretty neat way to continue a scene that you thought was over, isn't it?

Ep2-07: Hunting

Cameron gets on the elevator looking rather worse for wear. Just before the doors close, House's cane clangs between the gap. House and rat get on elevator.

Ep2-16: Safe

Following on from Wilson's subterfuge to let House get a better 'look' at a patient, House uses his cane like a limbo stick to block the elevator entrance. Foreman slips under it, but the rest aren't so lucky, as a hospital bed is taking up the rest of the space. House also uses the cane to fend off Foreman when he tries to turn off the emergency stop House activated.

About Me

Name: Cofie

I'm Mark, currently studying Info. Tech. at university in Australia. I'm into cycling, soccer and volleyball. Science facts and trivia are a bit of a vice of mine. I enjoy seeing what's possible with technology: making Javascript games for example. I pass the time otherwise by creating web pages and watching House, Supernatural and Scrubs. The lighter side of House interests me because the show is not your average detective or medical drama. The antics and action are more real, have more depth. And it's a great show. I hope to extract the gems that might go unnoticed.
